Chapter 391: Someone is following

The night was hazy and the stars were dim. (Baidu search update is the fastest and most stable);

It was already about seven o'clock in the evening, just got off the highway and entered the provincial capital of Jiangyuan, and saw a scene of red lights and green wine, noisy and noisy.

A pickup truck drove silently on the road on the outskirts of the city, gradually moving away from the city.

And when you get away from this gray city, the farther you go, the brighter the stars in the sky become, and the night sky is like ink, bright as a wash.

Although the wind is cold outside, the air quality is much better than in the city.

Ye Ping didn't feel cold either, he opened the window completely, let the cold wind blow in, and felt the fresh air in the wilderness.

The farther away you are from the city, the fewer cars you are on the road.

Ye Ping walked along the national highway, and his divine sense sensed that the distance from Yanjing to Jianghai Province was always about 800 meters behind him.

At this distance, if Ye Ping suddenly accelerated and hurried, it would be easy to throw the other party away.

But Ye Ping still maintained a constant speed, and the car did not catch up, and was still driving at the same speed.

Two hours later, Ye Ping drove along the national highway to Hongzhou City in Jiangyuan, and after passing by a gas station, Ye Ping stopped the car.

The car that followed behind did not stop near the gas station and drove directly into the city, as if to avoid being suspicious of a stop.

After filling up the gas, Ye Ping also drove into the city, found a night market beach, asked for a bowl of beef noodles and two side dishes, and ate quietly.

At this time of eating, Ye Ping didn't pay attention to the people who were following him, but kept thinking about Professor Gao's death in his mind.

Ancient characters such as Gulin script have only been excavated in recent years from some coastal ruins, and in addition to archaeologists like Che Ningsong, only professors who are engaged in the study of ancient texts like Professor Gao would be interested in studying these things.

Under normal circumstances, except for those who have special needs for these things, few people pay attention to the difficult ancient characters, even if they are interested, if they visit Professor Gao in the normal way. With Professor Gao's kindness, he will definitely not be stingy with advice.

If Professor Gao published these research results, many people would benefit, which is also a good thing.

But. Just when Professor Gao had just finished his research and was about to publish his paper, someone actually used the method of stealing to steal Professor Gao's research materials, and ordered a killer to kill Professor Gao. Even later, after learning that Professor Gao had been rescued, he lurked in the hospital to assassinate him.

Judging from this indication, the murderer not only wants to keep the information as his own, but also does not want other people to know, maybe the more people know the text, it may touch some interests of the murderer, so he will kill people.

It's just that in this world, most of the ancient characters involved are cultural relics unearthed in some ruins and monuments, or important written materials left in ancient treasures may be recorded in the ancient Lin script.

This is like the secret book of the "Immortal Sword Technique" that Ye Ping got from the person he met in Yinyi Village. There is also the thaumaturgy of "Puppetry", which is recorded using this ancient script, even if ordinary people can get it, they can't understand the ancient script, and there is no way to study and understand it in depth.

Then it can be inferred from this that maybe someone has obtained other important exercises and cheats, or some important treasure is written in this ancient Lin script, and they know that Professor Gao has already researched it and has achieved results, so they will steal it, but they don't want others to master this script. That's why Professor Gao was killed.

Linked to Ye Ping's overhearing of the conversation between Qi Zhi and Lei Sheng, after they mentioned the hidden martial artist, Ye Ping had a vague guess in his heart.

In addition to this secular world, there will be no more ancient literature research materials taught by Gao. And if you don't want to be known to the world, only a mysterious organization with a long and ancient history like the Hidden Martial Sect, or some other forces that also understand these words and have used these words to record some major secrets, will use this kind of murder to eliminate their mouths and prevent future troubles.

It was this speculation in his heart, coupled with the fact that he happened to stay at Professor Gao's house for one night. The next day, Professor Gao was killed, which made the police suspicious of him.

If this is not the murderer's attempt to hide people's eyes and ears, or to blame him directly, then this incident is a complete coincidence.

It's just that Ye Ping's subconscious thinks that there will only be many cause and effect relationships in this world, and there will not be too many coincidences.

Although he wanted to personally investigate the cause of Professor Gao's death in private, Ye Ping would not act recklessly, and it was obvious that the police and Guoan were still suspicious of him.

So when he left Yanjing, there would be vehicles to follow him in a gentle way, which was obviously the surveillance method carried out by the police or the national security department, indicating that he was still under suspicion.

If the murderer had learned that he had read Professor Gao's research results, and even wrote down all the contents of the manuscript, then there would be no follow-up, but a killer would have come to intercept and kill him.

Hongzhou City is not far from Yanjing, but it is not close, the scenery here is beautiful, the air is fresh, the environment is beautiful, it is a good city for tourism, and the economy is developing rapidly.

At this time, it is already night, the moon is dark and the wind is high!

There are many lakes around the city, and at night, the moonlight reflects on the surface of those lakes, and the sparkling sheen reflected in them echoes each other, which is beautiful.

By the lake, the night is quiet.

There is a manor near the lakeside, which is a very characteristic place in this scenic tourist area, and tourists who like the quiet nature and picturesque scenery here will prefer to live here temporarily.

In particular, the night view here is very beautiful and outstanding.

Ye Ping is no exception to choose this place as a temporary place to rest, he does not like the hazy sky of Yanjing, and the heavily polluted, noisy and noisy environment.

There are many small buildings built around the lake, which are somewhat similar to the ancient wooden houses, all of which are individual, the scenery is scattered, and the environment is very quiet and elegant.

Not far away, there is a relatively concentrated leisure and entertainment facilities, still brightly lit, the time is not early or late, some scattered tourists are still wandering there, some have just come out, some are ready to go home, in short, they are enjoying the leisure time here.

Ye Ping booked a small lakeside building near the foot of the mountain here, which was also quieter and more remote.

During the night, he admired the beautiful scenery near the lake, and also kept an eye out for the two people who had been following him secretly.

These two are a combination of a man and a woman. (To be continued.) )
